Chris Update

Good morning everyone,

Chris had a lot of visitors this past weekend and the doctors declared Monday a no visitor day. He was very restless all of Sunday night and they wanted him to get some rest. Chris was moved down to the 4th floor to what is called Progressive Care. Correna likes this floor better because the nurse to patient ratio is much better and Chris is getting a lot more personal attention. Chris had a minor set-back earlier with a blood clot forming in his leg and moving to his chest. The doctors put him on a blood thinner and they're waiting to see if this will solve the problem. This morning Chris is spiking a slight fever and Correna is doing her best to keep him cool and help break the fever. Before the fever hit this morning Correna said that Chris has had his eyes open quite a bit lately and he is reacting more to pain, especially when they change the dressing on his feet and suction out his breathing tube. This is good news.

Please continue to keep Correna and Chris and his whole family in your thoughts and prayers.
